The graphic novel is faithful to the film. It’s up to Warrant Officer Ripley to exterminate the alien. I’m sure you know the story: after the crew investigates a nearby derelict spacecraft, an extraterrestrial makes its way aboard the Nostromo and takes them out one by one. A commercial starship is shrouded in silence before its 7-member crew is awakened from hypersleep. Like its film counterpart, Alien: The Illustrated Story begins with the calm before the storm. After being out of print since the original run, the acclaimed graphic novel has been restored and reprinted courtesy of Titan Books. Shortly after the movie’s release in 1979, the story was adapted into comic form under the name Alien: The Illustrated Story. Its profitability is no surprise I’m not alone in considering it among the greatest films of all time. From books to toys to video games, the sci-fi classic has been spun off into countless forms. Alien has to be one of the most merchandised genre movies.
